Whatever is True

Philippians 4:1-9

A. Exhortation, encouragement, and Prayer. Vs.2-9

Today I want to speak to the Ladies of coarse but Men need to be vigilant in hearing today. While I praise the work of our women today, it throws a look on the Men of the church. I don’t mean to look down on you but to enlighten our role in the church!

B. How do we adjust our thinking to be in agreement as Paul has entreated? Let’s take a deep look at verse 8-9.

Philippians 4:8–9 ESV

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Whatever Is True

Eph 4:25 “25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.”

This is what Paul called for.

Whatever is Honorable

2 Cor 8:21 “21 for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man.”

Whatever Is Just

Deut 16:20 “20 Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”

Whatever Is Pure

1 Thess 5:22 “22 Abstain from every form of evil.”

Whatever Is Lovely

1 Cor 13:4-7 “4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Whatever Is Commendable

Think On These Things

A. This is how we adjust our thinking, our motives, and our time! We MUST think on these things.

Most of our ladies today have the responsibility of running the home. Many work outside the home and still make it work! What are their thoughts in making this work? Do they want a home that is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable? ABSOLUTELY! Do they build it on their own? I certainly hope not but some have to. Some only have God to help them, and He is enough.
